You can now buy a turntable for about £50 to output to a MP3 file.

Not worth it when you can just download an MP3.

Is that as easy as it once was, I was lucky about 5 or so years ago when I was looking for stuff I had on vinyl, I found quite a bit on what would now be illegal I assume, plus I got some stuff I didn't know existed.

I consider it just a legal to do so as recording the record.

You might do but the record industry doesn't well they're after money that's all.
In theory I should be able to prove I have a vinyl and be able to get the MP3 or ACC almost free.

Neither will get you into trouble.

It's those 'sharing' their music that get into trouble.
